Vince Gilligan working on a Breaking Bad film - but Heisenberg isn't guaranteed

The final episode of "Breaking Bad" aired in 2013 after five seasons of following the exploits of Walter White, a fictional high school chemistry professor who utilizes his science skills to make crystal meth.

Gilligan, who also created the Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul, is now working on a two-hour film, according to Variety. It was followed by the prequel series Better Call Saul, also co-created by Gilligan, and still ongoing on AMC's airwaves.

A source close to the creator made the claims but Gilligan and producer of the show, Sony Pictures Television hasn't confirmed anything yet.

Details on the Breaking Bad movie, which has been floating around the industry with a possible fake/working title of Greenbrier, are slim. You'll no doubt recall that while Jesse escaped, speeding away and laughing maniacally, Breaking Bad main character Walter White (Bryan Cranston) died from a gunshot wound. For one, the beloved protagonist on one of the most critically-acclaimed shows in the history of television had his arc come to a definitive end and it would be a huge stretch if he somehow returned in some contrived way.

Adds Cranston: "And this idea, from what I'm told, gets into those... at least a couple of the characters who were not completed, as far as their journey". It's been less than 24 hours since news about a potential Breaking Bad movie hit, and since then, we've been getting little tidbits here and there about what the film could entail and who will be returning.

We'll be keeping our eyes peeled on the rumour mill and will keeo you updated. A source confirmed to the paper that "Greenbrier" is the "Breaking Bad" project.

The first spinoff was Better Call Saul, a TV show that focuses on how Jimmy McGill became the scummy lawyer Saul Goodman.

Cranston yesterday responded to questions about that reported addition to the Breaking Bad canon, telling The Dan Patrick Show he'd heard rumours about the film's development. "I don't want to mess with it".
